Democrat Carson Wins Special Election; Only 2nd Muslim Ever Elected To Congress
By Eric Kleefeld - March 12, 2008, 12:31AM

Indianapolis City Councilman André Carson (D) has won the special election tonight to succeed the late Congresswoman Julia Carson (D), his grandmother. With 99% reporting, Carson has defeated Republican state Rep. Jon Elrod by 54%-43%.

Interesting fact: The younger Carson is a convert to Islam, making him only the second Muslim member of Congress ever, following freshman Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN).
